How the hell...

How the hell can someone not know their own damn cellphone number? I get a real kick out of it when someone comes into my store and asks me to look up their account. I ask them for their cell phone number and they draw a complete blank.

Minute Usage

Does anyone think that Cingular will provide a way to check minute usage, besides mmode, when the attws website is take down? Maybe like #646?

I would greatly appreciate any HELPFUL replys... If you have a ****y answer, please direct it elsewhere.

Jamster

Just so everyone is aware.... Jamster is based out of the UK.


I had charges show up on my account from mBlox. THis is from jamster. My friend joined one of the other companies similar to Jamster & it was charged to his account. We called each company to cancel their program & they said we had to fax a request to the UK or send a text message to 35555/72222.

A Grand Idea

I have a great idea!!!!!!!!

Lets see how many lies (also known as faux news) we can come up with to confuse everyone... I.E. employees, dealers, customers


THis stems from the MAJOR lie about forcing ATTWS customers to migrate. People pull this sh!t out of their asses & think it is funny. Or they heard it through the grapevine & take it a little too seriously.


😈 Sometimes I wish people woudl get beat for the stupid things they say. 👿

ADVICE: a friend dropped his Motorola v180 in a glass of water!

Took it out instantly.

No insurance.

Removed lid, battery, etc. Drying out now.

Someone suggested he put it with silica gel packs for a couple of days and they might absorb any moisture.

Do you think the SIM card survived, even if the phone didn't?

What options does he have? He's early into his contract, so cancelling would be an expensive option.

To make matters worse: this is his only phone, and he had a ton of numbers stored on it.

Let's say the phone is ruined, but the SIM is ok. If he puts the SIM card into another GSM phone, will the stored numbers be there? Or are they not stored on the SIM?

Many thanks for any information you can provide.

Starting a new premier agent store

I know this has been covered many times, and now that the Cingular forum has 430 pages to it, I would rather not go through it all.

I am wanting to open a store in Dallas (Addison) and I am looking for info to get started. Some may argue that DFW is saturated with stores, but my ultimate goal is to expand in Wise county, also. I thought of Jack county too, however I think that is part of the divested agreement.

Since I work for an agent now, I searched CSP and the Cingular.com site. I found some things needed, but I remember seeing an actual application. I wonder if I call CS, if there is a direct number of someone to talk to. I guess since the Tollway RSO(the other Cingular headquarters) is right next door where I live, I can poke my ...

The official word on the Moto a630

This is comming straight from my Motorola rep who is over the Dallas and Houston markets. Again, as we all know, things vary from market to market. All I have to say is WTF?!? I wouldn't plan on seeing it on the 20th. I bet we will see it next month if at all.

Here is what he had to say:

"Wow there is an actual date!? We have not heard of an official ship date for this phone. In fact, the phones are ready to ship from Motorola. However, Cingular has not given us the approval to ship to their warehouse. It's all in Cingular's hands at this point."

UMTS

Ok, help me out here. UMTS(WCDMA) and HSDPA are being released by Cingular by 2006ish. So, does the WCDMA have anything to do with or allow roaming onto CDMA networks...or are they in no way connected? Or is it just for data? So when a phone says:
GSM 800/GSM 1900/WCDMA 1900, then the WCDMA is for voice or just data or a seperate band or what? Europe uses the 2100 band right? I know that it is supposed to be capable of higher data speeds or is that just the HSDPA part? As you can see, I am very confused on what exactly it is. Clarification would be great...Thanks.

cONGRAULATIONS FORM

As a customer it's nice to see the rep's finally getting along.Maybe there is still hope for this company.It's true I'am an Att customer who won't migrate yet and join the fold.I still have a great plan with the former owners and it's to hard to pass up.But it is nice to come in here and read what the future hold when I do move over. For a while now it look pretty bleak with the constant bickering and one upmanship.I think it come full circle.It seems like some one cleaned house and got rid of the nay sayer who gave the wrong info or had swelled heads I think they still lurk abut due to some post sound like the previous people with a new name but they are claimer now so we'll see. But I do just want to say Thanks.

Nokia 6230 Questions - Jackie, Help!!!!

I want to get the headset that makes the FM radio work on my 6230, but I have read that not all of them work. Which one do I need to get (Shay might ask you this for me)?

Also, as far as the MMC cards for the 6230, can I use SD cards too since they are interchangable in most devices, or just MMC? I have read posts that say only MMC and I have read others that say both are able to be used. Which one is correct?

Thanks.
